The tiny hairs covering their bodies, for instance, are ultra-sensitive to electric fields that help bees identify flowers. These electric fields can influence how bees forage—or, if those ...

Scientists found that dolphins have an ability to sense electric fields, which may help them hunt and navigate the seas. By Carolyn Wilke Newborn bottlenose dolphins sport a row of hairs along the ...

The researchers found that, rather than crawling up the walls of the dish, the worms were leaping from the bottom of the plate to the lid—and they were using electric fields to do so.

Dolly and Donna, two dolphins at the Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, appear to be able to sense electric fields — an ability that might help them detect prey buried in sand or enhance their navigation.

Bottlenose dolphins have an extra sense – the ability to feel electric fields – which they may use to navigate and search for food. The power to sense weak electric fields, known as ...

Sure enough, the dolphins indicated that they could sense the pulsating electric fields. Like sharks, Dehnhardt said this ability in dolphins likely helps them search for food. “The sensitivity ...

A team of scientists in the United Kingdom measured the electrical fields near swarming honeybees and found that the insects can produce as much atmospheric electric charge as a thunderstorm cloud.
